It is deeply troubling to me that she is still actively pursuing him, even after he told her he didn't want a R with her. Why can't she just back off? Do you really see this as her and not him? I think this is him, too. When she gives him a card or wants to speak with him, he really should just walk away or return the card unopened. He doesn't HAVE to respond to her advances - or am I wrong in thinking that he HAS the power to do so?
For us it is crystal clear, not for them, the feel so guilty and fear hurting the ow even more. My H told me he wouldnt' be able to handle it if ow would txt or call him, the first time he changed his cell # she found out, we changed it again last week. It is very hard for them to cut it off, it is a must but it still is very very hard to admit they've made a wrek out of other people's lives. But I can see that he does want badly to stay with you, he's just very hurt, knowing he was the cause of your pain and ow's, seing himself as a failure and tha'ts tough for a man.

I'm scared to pursue a R with you
He's not afraid of you as a person, he's afraid of failure, he is feelign down and doesnt' see how can this work out, but he does want it to.
